People are questioning bringing in a 23 year old NI with potential?

Let's be honest, given recent history, we're going to see every game as a trap game. I think given the crowd support and the chance to fine tune the game plan, we win.

Hey, welcome LG.

Imagine the outrage if they fined Pederson for his nonsense. It will take the conspiracy talk to a whole new level. Chris Jones is pulling a Mike Kelly except for the fact that you know, Kelly was more successful.

I lean towards crossover given how the teams are currently playing.

I'm going to say what we're all thinking, I hope that the Bombers totally kick the Riders asses on Saturday.

IMO, one of the Riders biggest issues is their NI talent. Assume everybody is back and healthy next year, you have something like: Best/Labatte/St. John and Clark on the OL Bagg/Chambers at receiver Cappicotti at DE. Solid but Best/Bagg/Chambers/Labatte are injury risks and still no depth. Clark isn't particularly good at C and Chambers has underwhelmed at WR. No third and 4th in the draft either.

Seems to me that not acting like jerks can only help a team when it comes to dealing with the league or potential free agents.

My favourite is the lie that they drive the League. Biggest $$ is from the TV deal. TSN doesn't pay millions for a product that draws well in a province of 1.2 million and that doesn't draw in Ontario, BC and Alberta.

Game in Calgary

Iso, are you part of the conspiracy?

If we can finish drives and tighten our D, we'll be fine. Seriously, how much did the Riders benefit from it being the LDC?

Hey we already have more wins than last year.

Rider fans eat this stuff up due to their collective stupidity.

That Blog is terrible and unprofessional. So sick of the conspiracy talk and the crap about the Riders driving the league. TSN doesn't do that TV deal they did for a league driven by Saskatchewan.

Coombs is an FA after the season isn't he? Anybody else surprised Toronto doesn't use him more? I am wrong to think he could be a Durie like player?

With Jones acting the way it is, seems likely that the league office will monitor them more and the refs will not give them as many 50-50 calls, human nature. Thing is too, if you're a free agent do you want to go there considering the fates of Chiles, Lemon and Cappicotti?

First of all, he clearly hooks his arm into Dressler and I challenge anybody to watch it again and say he didn't. Once you hook, its a PI. Watch it again and see how Dressler gets pulled back and a little over to one side. Saying this wasn't PI is like saying the roughing call on Bass was the wrong call.

Poor Rider fans. I mean its a clear conspiracy that Chris Jones chose to take two foolish third down gambles. It was clearly the Commish who made Jones takes his previous two challenges. It must be Glen Johnson's fault that Crapigna missed two FGs. Its a conspiracy that allowed McDuffie to be so open on his TD.

They did make the correct call. Watch a replay and see the defender hook his arm right through Dressler's arm.

They should fine him for his comments.

That's a little surprising given that they are still in it in the East. Oh and here's to Calgary beating Edmonton back to back

I'm paraphrasing here but when asked about the PI at the end of the game, Jones said that he didn't want to comment because he's already been fined for doing something every other team does and he didn't want to be fined another 25k. What an arrogant ******. http://www.riderville.com/2016/09/04/coach-jones-post-game-media-3/ At the 4 minute mark.

Today, FGs were enough. Helped us win a game we haven't won in 12 years. Put that in perspective, you have to be about 17 or 18 to likely remember Winnipeg winning that game.

Rod Pederson, Ladies and Gentleman.
